Calvin Zara decided to move his family from the comfort of Beverly Hills, California to a sprawling property in rural Ojai, California. He sought a simpler life - one connected to the earth - and remodeled a rambling compound with tremendous potential, into five private rentable cottages where visitors can stay and be treated to the experience that only a working farm can lend you.

Zara produces everything from the milk and cheese that you consume to the chairs and tables you sit on and eat at.

He is a true Maker, who believes in working for and creating what you enjoy in life, and The Thacher House is absolute proof that it’s worth every early morning rise.
